Libre Intense, the new eau de parfum from Yves Saint-Laurent Libre: this word has always resonated as self-evident for the designer Yves Saint-Laurent. Indeed, his immense talent has always been associated with a significant measure of audacity and provocation.
Embodied by the London-born singer Dua Lipa, the Libre fragrance from Yves Saint-Laurent has been talked about since 2019, symbolizing the independence and emancipation of today's women. In 2020, this fragrance reinvents itself and becomes Libre Eau de Parfum, in a more suave and carnal edition. As for the bottle, Libre Eau de Parfum comes to us in an absolutely fascinating bottle, just as bold as it is luxurious and refined. But then, what about its new formula? Created by Anne Flipo, Libre Eau de Parfum presents itself as a more suave and ardent composition than before. The perfumer herself says of this fragrance that it is a more carnal, assertive, and fearless version.
Fresh and luminous top notes
The woman who wears Libre Eau de Parfum lacks neither temperament nor energy. In daily life, her spirit guides her steps and helps her forge her path. Now, it is precisely all this vitality that is felt in the top notes of Libre Eau de Parfum. As is often the case, citrus fruits bring freshness to this formula. Here, Yves Saint-Laurent opts for mandarin essence. This citrus fruit is both lively and powerful without being too bitter. Its sparkling and tangy breath blends with neroli essence, for an infinitely luminous and sun-kissed effect. It is impossible to ignore the passage of the Yves Saint-Laurent woman. She radiates!
Libre Eau de Parfum, a heart like an enormous bouquet of flowers
Because nothing is more effective than flowers to highlight a woman's femininity, Yves Saint-Laurent opts for a particularly floral heart, crafted like a generous and romantic bouquet. Here, several varieties of plants come together and harmonize. Libre Eau de Parfum navigates between tension, sensuality, boldness, and softness. Moreover, Anne Flipo offers us a true world tour of flavors. Furthermore, the flowers that make up this perfume come from multiple horizons. Libre Eau de Parfum contains orchid extract, orange blossom absolute from Morocco, lavender essence from France, more specifically from the Drôme and Mediterranean region, as well as sambac jasmine absolute from India.
The intense and lasting sillage of Libre Eau de Parfum
But then, where does the more assertive and fearless side of Libre Eau de Parfum come from? Simply from its base notes… Here, cedar essence structures the whole and gives it more depth. Not only woody, this ingredient also gives more longevity to this perfume. For a more suave effect, it is paired with vanilla extract from Madagascar. Finally, an animalic breath is felt in the background, leaving in the footsteps of the Yves Saint-Laurent woman an unforgettable sillage. Here, it is a combination of ambergris and musk.
Libre Eau de Parfum is a perfume endowed with an ardent floral intensity, for a woman of roaring freedom, who lives according to her instincts.
